Scientists use big data to discover a genetic cause for schizophrenia
2016-01-28 19:00:39| Extremetech
It's not a smoking gun. But in this week's Nature, there's a study that strongly links schizophrenia with a double-agent gene involved in the immune system.
Genetic engineering could thwart the Zika virus, among other mosquito-borne diseases
2016-01-25 18:01:14| Extremetech
With the recent use of genetically engineered mosquitoes in Brazil to halt the spread of the Zika virus, we might be beginning to see some major health improvements as a consequence of the genetics revolution.

2015 Research Review: Genetic marker may show PRRSV promise
2016-01-05 17:01:00| National Hog Farmer
Researchers: J.C.M. Dekkers, A.S. Hess, Iowa State University Department of Animal Science; N.J. Boddicker, Genesus Inc., Canada; R.R.R. Rowland, Kansas State University Department of Diagnostic Medicine and Pathobiology; J.K. Lunney, USDA- ARS, Beltsville Agricultural Research Center; and G.S. Plastow, L.L. Guan and P. Stothard, University of Alberta Department of Agricultural, Food and Nutritional Science PRRS Host Genetics Consortium aims to identify genomic markers and pathways associated with host response to PRRSV infection; markers that could be used for genetic selection of pigs for increased resistance or reduced susceptibility to the virus. read more

2015 Research Review: Looking for genetic answers in PRRS fight
2015-12-21 19:19:00| National Hog Farmer
Research by John Harding, Carolyn Ashley, Predrag Novakovic and Susan Detmer, all from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Saskatchewan; Andrea Ladinig, Western College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Saskatchewan and the University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna; Jamie Wilkinson, Tianfu Yang and Graham Plastow, all from the Department of Agricultural, Food and Nutritional Science, University of Alberta; and Joan Lunney, Beltsville Agricultural Research Center, USDA-ARS, Beltsville, Md. Novel findings from the Pregnant Gilt Model will contribute to the development of genetic lines that are more resilient to reproductive PRRSV, helping to mitigate losses in the event of a reproductive outbreak. read more
